Builds: Guitars
Lewiston, Maine acoustic guitar workshop led by master luthier Dana Bourgeois, who built his first guitar in a Bowdoin College dorm room in the early 1970s. In the 1980s he worked with Eric Schoenberg to revive the Orchestra Model guitar with the Schoenberg Soloist, built with C.F. Martin. Every Bourgeois top is hand-voiced by tap tuning, and Dana still oversees the voicing of each guitar.
